Project Layout For Customer:

1. The working principle of wet wood pallets biomass pellet processing equipment

The core function of wet pallet pellet processing equipment is to address the difficulty of directly pelletizing wet pallet raw materials (typically with a moisture content of 40% or even higher). Its operating principle revolves around four core steps: pre-treatment and dehydration → raw material crushing and refinement → high-temperature and high-pressure pelletizing → cooling and shaping. Designed to address the challenges of wet materials, such as stickiness, clogging, and difficulty in forming. The key step in forming wet pallet pellets is the ring die pelletizer (the mainstream equipment for wet material pelletizing). The principle can be broken down into "forced feeding → extrusion molding → shearing to length."

2. Characteristics of wet wood pallets biomass pellet processing equipment

The pallet pellet processing equipment is a production line specifically designed for waste pallets (containing nails, metal connectors, and wood with uneven moisture and hardness). Its core features are tailored to the raw material characteristics, ensuring production efficiency, and optimizing finished product quality. 

The crushing stage processes the pallets into 25-55mm wood chips. The equipment design balances crushing efficiency with impurity tolerance. 

The fine crushing stage processes pre-treated wood segments/chips into 2-5mm sawdust (the optimal particle size for pelletization). 

The drying stage controls moisture content and ensures pellet formation efficiency. 

The pelletizing stage forms the core and presses the powder into high-density pellets. The cooling and screening stages stabilize pellet properties and eliminate substandard products. 

The equipment in each stage works synergistically to transform raw materials into finished products.

3. Application scenarios of wet wood pallets biomass pellet processing equipment

Wood pallet pellet processing equipment is the core equipment for realizing the transformation of “waste wood pallets → biomass pellets”. Its application scenarios are centered around the source of raw materials, production scale, and processing needs. It is mainly divided into two categories: “centralized processing projects” and “supporting processing scenarios”: 

(1) Centralized processing projects: large-scale production scenarios This type of scenario takes “large-scale processing of waste wood pallets and batch production of biomass pellets” as its core goal. The equipment must have high production capacity and a high degree of automation. It is usually implemented as an independent biomass pellet processing plant: Professional biomass pellet plant: Build a large-scale processing plant in an area with developed logistics and abundant waste wood pallet resources, and configure a complete production line of “wood pallet dismantling machine → crusher → dryer → pelletizer → cooling and screening machine → packaging machine” with a daily production capacity of 50-200 tons. The products are mainly supplied to B-end customers such as industrial boilers and power stations; Supporting processing lines for solid waste treatment centers: Large-scale industrial solid waste treatment centers (such as centers for processing waste wood and waste packaging in the manufacturing industry) add wood pallet pellet processing equipment to convert waste wood pallets that originally needed to be landfilled/incinerated into high-value-added pellets, realizing "Solid waste reduction (over 80% reduction) + resource utilization" while also receiving environmental protection subsidies (such as solid waste treatment subsidies and pellet sales subsidies).

(2) Supporting processing scenarios: on-demand processing and local utilization

This type of scenario aims to "reduce the cost of raw material transportation and meet the energy needs of itself/surrounding areas". The equipment scale is flexible (small/medium-sized) and is usually directly matched with the producers and users of wood pallets:

Logistics parks/manufacturing factories self-processing: Large logistics parks and production enterprises (such as auto parts factories and furniture factories) generate a large number of waste wood pallets every year. They build supporting "small processing workshops" to process the processed pellets directly for their own factory heating and production heat, without the need to purchase energy from outside, thus reducing energy costs (saving 20%-30% compared to purchasing natural gas/coal);

Biomass boiler user supporting processing: Enterprises using biomass boilers (such as textile factories and chemical plants) build supporting processing lines within the factory area to process the recycled waste wood pallets into pellets and directly supply them to their own boilers, avoiding quality fluctuations (such as excessive ash content and insufficient calorific value) and transportation costs of purchased pellets, thus realizing the internal cycle of "raw materials - production - energy use";

Rural/ Small-scale processing sites in townships: In townships with developed agriculture and scattered waste wood pallet resources, small-scale processing sites are built, equipped with simple production lines (such as "mobile crusher + small pelletizer"). Products are mainly supplied to surrounding farmers for heating and small-scale agricultural drying (such as greenhouse heating and grain drying), meeting regional scattered needs and reducing farmers' energy costs.

TONY Brand 12-14Ton/Hour Wet Wood Pallets Pellet Manufacturing Plant can take wet wood pallets, various types of wood - related biomass materials, such as branches, small - diameter logs, and wood shavings, with wet wood as the main raw material. After pretreatment and processing, it is solidified into high - density wood pellet fuel. This fuel is an ideal substitute for coal and oil and plays a role in energy conservation and emission reduction. At present, it has been widely used in regions rich in wood resources.

Market demand analysis of the project of processing wood pallets into biomass pellets

Wood pallets are traditional packaging materials. The waste wood or scraps generated by their processing can be converted into biomass pellets. The market demand for this extension of the industrial chain is mainly driven by the following factors:

1. Global trade and logistics development:

Wood pallets are widely used in logistics and transportation. With the growth of global trade, their demand continues to rise, indirectly increasing the recycling volume of waste wood pallets and providing a stable source of raw materials for biomass pellets.

2. Environmental protection policies and sustainable development needs:

Biomass pellets are renewable energy and are in line with environmental protection trends. The conversion of waste generated by wood pallet processing into pellets can reduce wood waste and meet the needs of energy structure transformation.

3. Energy substitution market space:

Biomass pellets can replace fossil energy such as coal and natural gas and are used in power generation, industrial furnaces and civil heating, especially in areas with high energy prices such as Europe.

As biomass pellet fuel or industrial auxiliary material, wood pallet pellets offer stable physical and chemical properties, and their user experience surpasses traditional loose wood and coal. Specifically, they demonstrate the following:

1. High energy density and excellent combustion efficiency

After compression molding, wood pallet pellets achieve a density of 1.1-1.3g/cm³ (much higher than the 0.4-0.6g/cm³ of loose wood), a volume reduction of 6-8 times, and a calorific value per unit volume of 4200-4800kcal/kg (similar to medium-quality coal). They also resist slagging during combustion (due to the low ash content of 1%-3% found in softwood, wood pallets are primarily made of softwood). Their thermal efficiency is over 30% higher than that of loose wood, making them suitable for use in boilers, fireplaces, hot air furnaces, and other equipment. 

2. Convenient Storage and Transportation, Low Cost

The pellets have a regular shape (mostly cylindrical, 6-10mm in diameter and 10-30mm in length) and good fluidity. They can be transported in bags, silos, or conveyor belts, and are resistant to moisture and deformation. They require only one-fifth the storage space of bulk wood of the same thermal mass, and there's no concern for insect infestation or mildew (the high temperatures during the pelletizing process kill insect eggs and mold), reducing labor and space costs during storage and transportation.

3. Low Entry Points, Wide Adaptability

Wood pallet pellets can be directly used in automated biomass combustion equipment (such as pellet stoves and biomass boilers). No complex pre-processing (such as chopping or pulverizing) is required; simply feed the pellets at a constant rate through a feeder. Operation is simple, making them suitable for industrial heating, home heating, agricultural greenhouse insulation, and other applications. They can also serve as an auxiliary fuel in biomass power plants.
